Abstract:
|
The controlled growth and alignment of carbon nanotubes and peptide nanoarrays offers new avenues for nanodevice fabrication.
Creating intricate nanoelectronic devices requires the precise
patterning of carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays. However, creating
such complex and carefully aligned structures at nanometer
scales is a difficult challenge for researchers. One fabrication approach
that has attracted tremendous interest is the use of templates
to control the growth patterns of nanomaterials.1–3 These
templates consist of substrates on which a catalyst has been
carefully patterned. Synthesis of the nanostructures is then performed
on the substrate, which directs their growth and alignment. |
